"It's not a real car." Looks real to me-real fast, and a real head-turner. Genuine Shelby Cobra? No. Does it capture the spirit of the Shelby Cobra? Definitely.
jealous people make those degrading comments, the bottom line here is - it is a real car that you can have the satisfaction of building yourself and actually afford to own and drive. As far as pros it will make your face hurt from smiling, the cons are - you build the car, so your skills will determine the final cost and finish of it. in other words if you want it looking immaculate you might have to pass off some of the work to professionals, increasing the cost. Factory 5 is number one for a reason, they put a lot of effort to insure the customer gets something they can build, use and be proud of for years to come. Not every car lover is a snob, there are many out there that still know the feeling of sheer exhilaration and beauty.
I didn’t make those comments to sound snobby I am not a snob very far from I love this car honestly it is the best driving car that I’ve ever driven and if I could take it home with me I totally would and I don’t care if it’s factory five or if it was built by Shelby =) I have never driven a 427 version of this car which is even the sound of it just terrifies me because even with the coyote engine it’s almost like driving a wheelchair with a V-8 attached to it it’s insane in the best ways and just like you said you’re smiling ear to ear face actually hurts from smiling so much because of the exhilaration that this car gives
What a fascinating replicar!!! This Cobra is a gorgeous car with the look of the sixties & the modern mechanicals!!! I actually think that there are a lot of advantages to having a replicar!!! Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂
Top two cars to drive for me is pur sang Bugatti type 35 and Alfa monza I’m hoping one day get that chance if I could buy any car in the world it would be one of those and don’t care they aren’t real.
This was a bucket list thing for me last year this car drives a lot like the Viper like you know right when it’s about to bite you.. The people that drive them aggressively take them pass their limit before the car can tell them that they’re at their limit but they communicate with you for you to lose control of one you have to be going balls to the walls not being reverent about the machine I didn’t drive it like I stole it because it was in my car and it never stepped out on me. But I could feel that it could in a very instant step out on you.. can’t text and drive that car
Sorry for the second comment, but according to my own personal experience and the experience of over 100 of my Cobra buddies, over the last 20 years I can say that most people DO NOT look down upon you at car shows for not having a real one. In fact, these cars get more attention than $250,000 Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. P.S. - I own both a Factory Five and a Superformance. I get a lot more respect with the Factory Five because I built it myself - even though the Superformance is endorsed by Shelby American, has a CSX number in the registry, and costs four times as much.
Awesome, honestly it wouldn’t matter to me I absolutely love that car I don’t care if it’s real or not I guess it’s to the point just like a pur sag Bugatti type 35 or a Alfa monza Those cars are next level for me. Which one do you like better do you like factory five or the super performance. There is only one thing that I would change about that car and that would be the pedal box I would try to make it wider so that foot could fit in the hole better. My foot getting stuck underneath the brake pedal
@@What.its.like. the way I get around the pedal space issue in mine is, I wear my wrestling shoes. Works perfectly and much more comfortable than driving barefooted
Don’t bother with this guy Brad, he literally was reading the Wikipedia article for this car, almost word for word. He doesn’t actually do true research, otherwise he’d know that Carroll Shelby sometimes put 428s and 427 Center Oilers in the Cobras since they were cheaper over the proper Side Oiler. He went as deep as Wikipedia for research and that’s it.
That car was epic if I could I would buy that car it was even fun to drive slow the go pro didn’t pick up on that burble it was glorious. I drove a 409 1962 that makes 409hp it was a really cool car that episode is coming =)
I'm sure it's nice. It's about power to weight ratio, so it's sick fast! The realism is, it's a dangerous ride. My late Uncle had a phrase "Wrap you a** in fiberglass". See how well you and your ride hold up on impact.
I agree I left the clip out idk what happened to it honestly where I said this car will get you a ticket arrested as well as dead all at the same time. But it’s fun and it’s way more forgiving than the viper.. honestly way way better than the viper
So is a corvette!! Way more of them then a real cobra or a replica out there. Still making a real corvette too this day. As they say, America's dream car.
Due to a change in the laws, these can't be registered in California(which would have been a major market). There have been Cobra kit cars available for decades, mostly of fiberglass. When Caroll Shelby decided to use the extra chassis numbers he legitimately had for the 1965 427 Cobras and start building the continuation Cobras, the race was on again. He had a couple of guys buy an old factory in Poland and started building aluminum bodies, as the originals were. The main difference was they were symmetrical. The original Cobras were not and you couldn't swap body parts with other Cobras. Caroll Shelby then went searching for any 427 side-oiler and top-loader 4-speed he could find. From what I was told this is where the aluminum 427 came from. If you look at the real Cobras, you will notice that they used Ford Mustang Shifters and mounted them backwards. The reason was, as you probably found out, the shifter was in a more convenient position. I've seen this type of shifter used on many other kit car Cobras. Here is an idea. Ever heard of the SEMA Show in Las Vegas NV? It is a show you might consider attending. It will be November 1-4. You could go as a journalist or maybe through your employer. It is basically for companies which sell parts and accessories plus, many of the attendee's are in the automotive field. Another option would be if you could get sponsored by a manufacturer that you might know. They would probably pay you to be there. As many subscribers as you have, there are those, like me, who wouldn't mind meeting you. There are always celebrities there, hired by manufacturing companies and/or just enjoying the show. Lot's of gorgeous female models that have posters of themselves they'd love to sign for you. Oh, as another bonus, you can walk away with a lifetime supply of great bags with a company's logo on them. And, guaranteed, you with see REAL Cobras there. You might also arrange a tour of the Shelby factory there and their display of historic cars. As a bonus, you will have the opportunity to make a month's worth of RUclips videos. Here is a link to the SEMA home page: www.sema.org/
I totally forgot about the whole sumo thing I could maybe go to that I would love to go to that actually I don’t know if my boss goes there but that’s awesome thank you so much for pointing that out and all the insight as well..This channel isn’t that old to be honest we just started in September last week of September of last year so this year pretty much grill next year I’m hoping to do a lot of cool stuff there is a lot of cool stuff coming I’m really trying to put together a race between two legendary cars I’m hoping to do that Thursday that would be a really big fan I will give you a hint it’s a race that took place in a beach boys song I really wanna know what the real outcome is and I have access to both cars and I don’t think that will ever get that chance again. It would be totally epic and probably nobody will watch it but it will be really cool I drove a 409 1962 Chevy Belair today and it was marvelous I wouldn’t say it was better than the cobra but it was nice.. i’m not sure if I’m going to work on that episode and get it posted tomorrow or if I’m gonna do a different episode and post it tomorrow I got a lot of episodes in the pipeline..
There are actually more Factory Fives in California than any other state in the Union and the numbers are still growing. They are registered as a Specially Constructed Vehicle (SPCNS) and in most cases are legally registered as a year 1965. They are smog-exempt for life, and qualify for classic car insurance.
the challenge with building one, you will lose money. I have a kit in my cart at factory 5s website, total price before shipping is $39k....and that does not include engine/trans/paint. If I choose a blueprint engine/trans combo ($25k) and have it custom painted ($15k) ill be in it for almost $80k, and its only worth $50k-$60k when complete. IMHO, factory 5 needs to to rethink their pricing strategy.
Yeah it's better to just buy one completed and then you don't have the headache of building the car plus sourcing the engine plus getting the engine dialed in There are also a lot of hidden cost but you're totally right there are tons for sale out there. You could probably find one that's done and you won't have the headache and your own.
Yikes! Dead Man's Curve? Don't wanna be wiping OUT with that high powered motor. Yep! like a Harley exhaust, this TRULY has a sound. Trivia: Flintstones cartoon Indianrockolis 500. A wonderful cartoon besides 1960's series Speed Racer. Engine sounds similar. Jay, you "handled" that car!
Yeah I drove it proper and now I really really want one I can’t afford it I won’t be able to afford one of those cars for the foreseeable future I really wanna get to a point next year I wanna be able to build a car I don’t wanna do a factory five job I want to build a roaster type of car prewar speedster type of car pipe 35 Bugatti.. but I wanna build it on a budget just to show that it can be done.. I honestly think that I could build a car like that for less than 10 grand the most expensive part is going to be finding somebody to build me a body The drive train I want to put in it there’s nothing spectacular but I want to put a two speed rear ended it and just show you that you don’t have to have a big monster V8 to win races a six cylinder will do just fine
Feet were to big for pedal box it was hard to push clutch and gas and super nervous.. that car had less than 100 miles on it, I had to push gas pedal at an angle it’s not an easy car to drive if you have big feet
It drove like a go kart with a 302 engine, it cornered amazing. I was 100% honest when I said it is the best car that I’ve ever driven.. and it’s not even real.. One has to drive this car up with a sort of reverence because it will bite you faster than you can think it but with that being said it doesn’t want to kill you like a viper.. it’s very forgiving as long as you don’t overdo it.. man I love that car.
@@What.its.like. Years ago in the newspaper Autoweek someone tried to put big tires on an AMC Pacer to make it into a quick Emergency Response car to be the first to an accident. Someone asked how it would handle in the rain. "Like a Tyrrell Ford" which meant bad handling.
"iTs nOt ReAl" Yeah, sorry Brocephus, I don't have $2.5 milli for a "real" one. Also, guys, you can build one of these for around $30k ish all said and done. And you can build that over time. You won't *need* a 5.0 Coyote in a car that light, you can get more than enough out of a older 5.0/302 or 351 out of a 90s Ford.
I don’t care if it was a real one or not I was just saying in general.. factory five does a stellar copy of the cobra there’s ones out there that don’t look anything like the cobra is what I was getting at just like the Bugatti type 35 per sang the best wine. There are some out there that look really bad.
Exactly that’s all I was saying in the video.. Same thing with Auburn speedster there’s a company that makes a stellar replica of that car and then there’s other companies that don’t make good ones they almost look as bad as Mercedes SS.. I saw a cord 810 replica that looks spot on from the outside you could not tell from the outside that it was a replica the only time that you could tell was whenever you got inside interior completely different This was a bucket list thing for me to do to drive. This car and I was a bit nervous because they just built this car. It had 51 miles on it when I drove it I were size 12 shoe I couldn’t drive it. That great. The car will do 90 miles an hour plus in second gear and when you start getting up to that speed in second gear, it gets a bit Squirrley lol get over height the pedalbox was that is the only major issue with that car. Everything was great. The shifter was great. The brakes were great the accelerator pedal great they’re just isn’t enough space if you’re a bigger dude…pedalbox is small like a European car, which makes sense because this is technically a European car
Bro is literally just reading the Wikipedia article for this car. Almost word for word. And because of that, he gets some facts wrong. Carroll also sold some 427s with a 428 V8 as well as a 427 Center Oiler (not Side Oiler although that’s the proper engine) as it was cheaper and the 50hp difference wouldn’t be noticeable by a normal driver, but if he was called out about it, he did put in the proper 427 Side-Oiler.
The information has to come from somewhere can’t just pull it from my ass like some channels do, I wonder if you called donut media for doing the same exact thing because they read from Wikipedia nine times out of 10. For what it’s worth plus this was an older episode I was just starting out I didn’t know where to get information from I still use Wikipedia, but it’s not the main place in which information comes from.
You are never going to find a real one. For example the Daytona cobra only had a production run of 6. The 289 had a production run of twice that. And the 427 comes in at less than 20. The majority of the real ones left are located in Las Vegas, and not for sale.
I couldn’t drive it feet were too big for the pedals it even said as much in the Video.. I guess you didn’t watch that part Just another keyboard warrior going off without knowing the full story
You make way too big of a deal about it being a replica. Quite frankly, go ahead and buy an OG Cobra, and have fun stressing out about never driving it because you paid over a MILLION dollars for it too. Personally, I'll take my $50,000 "replica" out any time I want to and have a blast knowing I built it myself. That right there is way more than most car afficionados can say about themselves anyway.
Sorry But if I didn’t say the car was a replica, if I didn’t stress it was people would say I’m misrepresenting this car as a Shelby car when it’s not so there has to be a happy medium.. I would buy this car in a heartbeat even though it is a replica car.. it is hands down the best car that I’ve ever driven.. and it’s been months since I’ve driven it and it brings in the question how much better is the Shelby or is the Shelby all hype.. because I’ve reviewed a ton of cars this year that the hype doesn’t live up to what the car is for instance Mercedes 450 SL that car sucks.. for the price that it was new it’s not a very good car.
That cobra was the best car that I drove all year last year.. there was a runner up 2000 WS6 Pontiac Trans Am that car is absolutely incredible I would never buy one because it looks way over the top but let me tell you that thing is fast and it hooks up and the transmission works like you would think the transmission should work. The biggest thing I didn’t like about the cobra was the clutch it didn’t have very far to travel and it was super tight I have big feet so just pushing down the clutch was a bit of a challenge but still all things considered that was the best car I drove all year
It was a five point harness and was for someone smaller than me I couldn’t figure it out, I love this car and I respected it. It’s very forgiving unlike the viper it only got Squirrley at speeds past 80 mph. I know it can and will turn on You in an instant but it definitely felt more stable than the viper, viper was just plain scary
I show the pedal box later on in the video I show how tight the pedalbox is I couldn't do it. My feet were too big. That car wasn't size 12 shoe friendly No need to be so crass.. I can drive a stick shift and can double clutch just couldn't drive that one feet are too big
@@What.its.like. I've got size 12 feet as well but that has absolutely *nothing* to do with getting back on the power before the clutch is fully disengaged after changing gears! The first time I heard it I thought you'd lost traction, the second time it became clear you were slipping the clutch, and by the 3rd time I was gritting my teeth. No idea if there was a 4th time..
I couldn't do it I drove a viper and when let the clutch out my knee hit the bottom of the dash with that car as well It's cool some people are just jerks naturally shouldn't have to explain everything but here we are I have a 52 Chevy truck that I drive almost daily with a cable clutch can drive that good ruclips.net/video/d3eshzW7tVE/видео.htmlfeature=shared Like I said feet were too big I showed pedal box, I learned that day it's possible to be to big I've talked to other people who said the same thing they make a wider longer version for that reason.. this wasn't it
Feet were to big for the pedal box I kept hitting the brake pedal to shift it’s not a car for people with big feet the gas pedal had to push at an angle.. feet just didn’t fit in the box

Love all your INFORMATIVE Videos doing what you love to do. That’s Awesome! I’m just happy to hear we have this company here in Massachusetts :)
Thank you it means a lot got some really cool stuff coming a really awesome comparison hopefully could race those two cars that would be epic
Super cool car! 😎 Factory five rocks! It's always great to hear of an American company success story! I really like the look of the Daytona also! 🤩
It was a great experience one day maybe can buy one but just a really cool car did you notice how low it was in regards to the explorer that passed

Carroll also sold some 427s with a 428 V8 as well as a 427 Center Oiler (not Side Oiler although that’s the proper engine) as it was cheaper and the 50hp difference wouldn’t be noticeable by a normal driver, but if he was called out about it, he did put in the proper 427 Side-Oiler.
The information has to come from somewhere can’t just pull it from my ass like some channels do, I wonder if you called donut media for doing the same exact thing because they read from Wikipedia nine times out of 10. For what it’s worth plus this was an older episode I was just starting out I didn’t know where to get information from I still use Wikipedia, but it’s not the main place in which information comes from.
😍 👍
That is by far the best car I’ve ever driven =)
You are never going to find a real one. For example the Daytona cobra only had a production run of 6. The 289 had a production run of twice that. And the 427 comes in at less than 20. The majority of the real ones left are located in Las Vegas, and not for sale.

Where the hell did you learn to drive a stick. If that was my car you’d owe me a clutch.
I couldn’t drive it feet were too big for the pedals it even said as much in the Video.. I guess you didn’t watch that part
Just another keyboard warrior going off without knowing the full story
You make way too big of a deal about it being a replica. Quite frankly, go ahead and buy an OG Cobra, and have fun stressing out about never driving it because you paid over a MILLION dollars for it too. Personally, I'll take my $50,000 "replica" out any time I want to and have a blast knowing I built it myself. That right there is way more than most car afficionados can say about themselves anyway.
Sorry But if I didn’t say the car was a replica, if I didn’t stress it was people would say I’m misrepresenting this car as a Shelby car when it’s not so there has to be a happy medium.. I would buy this car in a heartbeat even though it is a replica car.. it is hands down the best car that I’ve ever driven.. and it’s been months since I’ve driven it and it brings in the question how much better is the Shelby or is the Shelby all hype.. because I’ve reviewed a ton of cars this year that the hype doesn’t live up to what the car is for instance Mercedes 450 SL that car sucks.. for the price that it was new it’s not a very good car.
Shit I can’t decide on the Cobra or the Daytona …
That cobra was the best car that I drove all year last year.. there was a runner up 2000 WS6 Pontiac Trans Am that car is absolutely incredible I would never buy one because it looks way over the top but let me tell you that thing is fast and it hooks up and the transmission works like you would think the transmission should work.
The biggest thing I didn’t like about the cobra was the clutch it didn’t have very far to travel and it was super tight I have big feet so just pushing down the clutch was a bit of a challenge but still all things considered that was the best car I drove all year
@@What.its.like. thanks for sharing bro!!
DO NOT drive this car without your 4-point harness. This car can snap out and KILL you in an instant!
It was a five point harness and was for someone smaller than me I couldn’t figure it out, I love this car and I respected it. It’s very forgiving unlike the viper it only got Squirrley at speeds past 80 mph. I know it can and will turn on You in an instant but it definitely felt more stable than the viper, viper was just plain scary
It’s a roadster.
It is it’s best roadster that I’ve ever driven way better than the viper
Jesus Christ would someone PLEASE teach this guy how to let a clutch out after changing gears 🤦♂️
I show the pedal box later on in the video I show how tight the pedalbox is I couldn't do it. My feet were too big. That car wasn't size 12 shoe friendly
No need to be so crass.. I can drive a stick shift and can double clutch just couldn't drive that one feet are too big
@@What.its.like. I've got size 12 feet as well but that has absolutely *nothing* to do with getting back on the power before the clutch is fully disengaged after changing gears! The first time I heard it I thought you'd lost traction, the second time it became clear you were slipping the clutch, and by the 3rd time I was gritting my teeth. No idea if there was a 4th time..
I couldn't do it I drove a viper and when let the clutch out my knee hit the bottom of the dash with that car as well
It's cool some people are just jerks naturally shouldn't have to explain everything but here we are
I have a 52 Chevy truck that I drive almost daily with a cable clutch can drive that good

Like I said feet were too big I showed pedal box, I learned that day it's possible to be to big I've talked to other people who said the same thing they make a wider longer version for that reason.. this wasn't it
Learn to drive...
Feet were to big for the pedal box I kept hitting the brake pedal to shift it’s not a car for people with big feet the gas pedal had to push at an angle.. feet just didn’t fit in the box
